One Less Woman: Julia Duffy, who plays Allison Sugarbaker on CBS’ “Designing Women,” will not return to the show next season, series creator and co-executive producer Linda Bloodworth-Thomason said. “No one could have worked harder than Julia,” said Bloodworth-Thomason. “But sometimes the chemistry just isn’t right.” Duffy said in a prepared statement: “Since the character of Allison was so poorly developed, I am not surprised or dismayed at the producers’ decision to do away with her.”
